Deal Details
I've been hunting for a decent 3070-based laptop deal, and came across this. Start with this [hp.com] base config, then choose the 5800H + 3070 CPU/GPU combo, add the QHD screen, upgrade the keyboard to RGB (it will force you to do this), and upgrade RAM to 16GB (optional, but $60 seems reasonable to me). Apply code WINTER10. You could also save another $40 bucks by going with the FHD 144Hz display, but personally, I think the $40 premium for QHD is worth it.
This is one of the better 3070 deals I've seen...but be forewarned, ship date is estimated to be in mid-January. Please don't ask me if these will be LHR cards, or what to expect for hash rate - I have no idea. But even if they are LHR, overall, I still think it's a solid deal compared to other 3070 options I've seen on SD recently.
EDIT: I realize there have been better deals on 17" 3070-based Omens, but it seems like that's not an option right now. The 17s are currently offered with either a 3060 (underpowered) or 3080 (overpriced). You can't select a 3070. imo, 3060ti/3070 is the sweet spot...at least, for now.
EDIT 2: as of 12/19, if you have an edu account, the price on this config is now $1390.49 (using code 10GAMER2021). It's also a little cheaper on the regular (non-edu) store - $1440.
EDIT 3: apparently code HOLIDAY10 works, if 10GAMER2021 or WINTER10 fails.

This is a solid deal overall if you can't get your hands on the Legion 7/7i 3070 which is almost always 1550$ w/ CB

What do you think of the machine? Are you using it for gaming and/or mining? Any particular pros/cons worth mentioning?

I've only had it a few days, but I'm favorably impressed by it. I use it for photography (processing), not gaming or mining. It's fast and (I think) easy to add a second SSD. Data transfer speed via USB C are particularly impressive, getting close to 0.8 GB/s. Pros: fast (CPU and GPU), very nice display (I got the higher res version), 16.1" is a nice screen size, easy to expand. Cons: mediocre keyboard (but as good as almost any other laptop keyboard) with very poor on/off key placement. It's the laptop that I was hoping I could get. Reasonable price.

The machine itself is phenomenal for anybody on the fence. 135w gpu exceeds my expectations.
The only things I dislike is that it does not have the number pad and it does have some fan whine when you are really pushing it. I've overclocked the memory a bit and it was very stable also.
I have no idea if HP price matches (probably not) but I'll see if I can get the lower price.
EDIT: thanks to avian's comment below, I realized that this price drop is ONLY on the edu store. Price on the regular/non-edu site will be around $1440.

Neither WINTER10 nor 10GAMER2021 work for me.
Get this error msg with 10GAMER2021: "The coupon code you have entered is not applicable for products in the cart."
HOLIDAY10 works but the price I get is 1439.99. What is your exact configuration?

More specifically: the 4 upgrades I chose were: the 5800H/3070 combo, 16GB RAM, QHD display, and the RGB keyboard. Pre-coupon, in the edu store, the price is $1544.99 - $55 less than the $1599.99 price on the regular store. So I guess that explains the discrepancy between my price and yours. I'll amend my comment to make this clear.
